What i learned from this lecture from Covey was that we first need to sharpen the saw and before you can go ahead and cut the tree. Meaning that you first have to work with yourself before we can work with others. For example If a friend ask you advice on how to cut on sleeping late, but you have also been sleeping late. You cant just advice her without applying it herself. This is a seek first to understand, then to be understood situation. If you really want to help you friend because she might be showing poor effectiveness for sleeping late, then the best thing to do is to listen to her understand her and how she feels. Try to put yourself on her shoes and what is it that you would do if you were in that situation. Once you have it apply, if not try talking to her more and get her to express herself maybe then you can help.

We have food of course all kinds of Mexican food, candy bags known as Aguinaldo, and piñatas. The first two posadas were held in my house and ...
